I am doing fractions in class and we need to write a paper about them.
So my question is:"how do we use fractions in every day life?"

Tori,

- Percentages are fractions. Try to see how often you see percentages in the news and in everyday life.

- Decimals are also fractions. Go to the store and look how often the prices are in decimals like $9.97 rather than whole numbers like $10.00. (Of course there is a tax percentage over that, see above.)

- Probabilities are also fractions. Without a basic understanding of fractions, it is impossible to get a basic understanding of chance. Without a basic understanding of chance many people spend all their savings in casinos and on lottery tickets.
